im new at this so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. well i recently upgraded to windows xp, and installed limewire, before i had windows me and limewire and everything was fine, now when i download a song and play it, it only repeats the first 5 seconds of the song and it does that through out the whole 3 or 4 minutes of the song that i downloaded. and most of the time i also get a popup that its corrupted before it finishes downloading. im not very familair with firewalls and all that stuff. so if anybody can help me out i would really appreciate that.

Are you using the LW player? Disable it (tools > options > player) &
try playing the songs with VLC player or Winamp & see what happens.

Otherwise, they're possible bad files. Check out the thread below

3 posts about this? Please don't post more than once

sorry bout that i dont know how to erase the first two posts, my comp froze when i was tryin to post it.

That's ok, I just marked them as a double post so that someone else doesn't think you're still waiting for a reply.
A mod will possible delete the other ones. If not, don't worry about it

hmmm well i disabled the lw player and i downloaded winamp and it still does the same thing. i usually play them with windows media player but it does the same thing.

How many files has this happened to...

if it helps i live in a apartment complex that provides internet in each apartment, so i just plug in the connection and automaticlly connected to the internet.
